UK at war within 1000 days

[HumbleStumble]

Wes Streeting has said Britain must be ready for war in 1,000 days. This combined with the advice to stockpile while you can is highly inflammatory and worrying. AIBU to think that if there is a specific threat he should be specific? If it's a nuclear threat then he should say. We are lucky to have access to what is effectively a bunker but what can you do if you live in a bedsit in the London borough of suburbia?

No, you did not. You linked to the Wiki article on generalised Amphibious warfare, which has do direct relevance to Streeting's moronic statement.

Labour need to prioritise defence spending quickly

So many over the last few days suggesting we stop supporting Ukraine in case Russia attacks us

Yep.

I’d prefer they do this than go for headlines that just make the public jumpy.

I think we all know what flag you're flying.

Which changes absolutely nothing, because Russia is no more able to launch an amphibious occupation of Ireland than it is the UK itself, so no, they aren't going to be rolling tanks across that border either.

Who do you think is behind them ?

Their latest posts should clear that up.

I think this is what they are priming us for isn’t it.

What a load of scaremongering nonsense. 🙄 I wish the Government would STFU. It's honestly getting on my tits now.

They didn't fight to impose multi-culturalism on the UK or Europe. They fought to preserve Western Civilisation.

Why mention you have a bunker? That is a twat move. Start a panic inducing thread and then finish it with ‘oh but I don’t need to worry suckers!’

Power cuts in winters is worrying.

Yes, it's terrifying.

Thank you.

These panic mongering threads have a Russian bot feel to them.

That would have been news to the millions of colonial troops the UK relied upon in order to prevail in that conflict. How deliciously ironic, the "multi-culturalism" you are havering drivel about being the one thing that actually preserved "western civilisation".

During the darkest days of 1940, Churchill framed the fight against Nazi Germany not merely as a territorial war, but as a defence of Christian and Western civilisation against a "new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science".

Yep. I am sick to bloody death of them now!

The bit of the chunnell when you come out of the sea?

Bollocks. Russia and USA and perhaps having the channel saved us.

I hate all these MN panic posts! I think they are more worried about sophisticated cyber attacks than all out warfare. Politicians are very good at manipulating the public though. We’ve had these nuclear threats for years. Putin and Trump aren’t getting any younger, they won’t be around forever. We’ve got to keep our fingers crossed, that they’ll be replaced with far more peaceful, and understanding leaders.

The world feels like a scary place right now. Although i’m sure it did in the 80’s too, with the cold war, history repeats itself.

We are just stocking up on bottled water, and tinned food/pasta. Perhaps making a go bag, with medical supplies. Not that it would last long but the constant talk of being ‘prepared’ has really ramped up in the news lately and made me concerned.
